LEAD: Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, and we are shouting a huge THANK YOU from the hallways of Palombi!

Our paraprofessionals are the heartbeat of our classrooms. Whether they are providing one-on-one support, helping a student master a tough math problem, or being a steady hand and a kind ear during the middle school transition, they make magic happen every single day. We are so appreciative of everything they do!!

Watching them read their own stories aloud and see their words come to life in front of an authentic audience was an unforgettable experience.
